Hi Kid,

Sorry that I am confused but is it on the outside or inside of your cheek?

Hi Austin,

Okay. Well I had a pimple that I thought was a pimple that was a cyst. I was getting a facial and that is how I found out it was a cyst. The lady actually took a syringe and either drained it or put something in it, I wasn't sure as I only saw the needle coming at me. She said if you have a pimple on your face for more than two weeks it is a cyst. It had been on my face for two weeks. Odd thing is the next morning it was almost gone! I think you need to go see your doctor or if you can a dermatologist and they can look at it. Mine was also under the skin and didn't have a head on it like a pimple would. (Sorry to be gross but just have to be truthful here). It was like a hard lump. Now, mine did not turn brown on the outside. Don't know what that is about. Regardless, you can give it another week or go on and see your doctor. I don't think that cancer grows that fast though. If you go see your doctor and it is a cyst they can do what they did to me and at least you won't be worried anymore. Good luck and let me know how it went you can pm me. Try not to worry!

Best wishes,

Laura
